All I See Is You

All characters are welcome to write an editorial for any of the current IC news outlets, including NPC and player outlets. If the editorial is approved by the admin team, it will be moved into the appropriate thread in the Fourth Estate to be included in publication. All submissions should be in the form of a written editorial. If the news outlet wants to interview you later, they will ask you. Note that the admin team has approval power of whether the editorial is published, not the player or NPC that owns the outlet. As a member of the public airwaves, your audience is available to all public figures - even those your audience despises (not that they would want to waste their time with your audience anyway if that is the case).

Per @TedderBear: As part of my efforts to instill increased AB accountability and strengthen trust and integrity in this community, we are implementing and enforcing a precedent that will govern how someone re-enters the player base after serving on the AB. They will take a 2 week break after leaving the AB before having a player character approved. They will not be elected to party or Congressional leadership for a month. They will not run for POTUS for the entirety of the current reset. This precedent can be waived only with permission from both the Lead Admin and the Owner in extreme circumstances. It is a precedent that has helped other games avoid the awkwardness of an admin returning to a partisan player base and I believe it will help VGS in rebuilding our reputation. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. per @Baudin: For the mini session, the Presiding Officer of the Senate will be simulated by the AB. The floor leaders will remain Schumer and McConnel, but we are asking that a player from each party selects someone to simulate these roles for the good of the session. per @TedderBear: I have made a couple of tweaks to the the website layout to help highlight VGS, make it more user-friendly, and prevent confusing crossover between VGS and DynamicSim: The sidebar has been moved to the right side of the page for the Light Theme. This will make things a little cleaner for those using the light theme on mobile as the sidebar items will now be at the bottom of the page instead of the top. I've removed all sidebar items from the forums except the Who's Online box. This should help keep DynamicSim and VGS in their separate areas. Eventually there will be some ads here to help generate a budget for the game to do advertising for new players. The Information and Help Center forum now has a subforum that links back to this Discord server. Thank you to @Charlotte O'Hare (Blake) for this suggestion. per @Tuna: Senate candidates are due on Day 1 of the RNC and DNC (10/15) per @Tuna: Two announcements regarding Dark Secrets: After the last 24 hours of learning about Mark Robinson going freaky Uncle Ruckus in the chat rooms and RFK Jr chainsawing off the heads of humpback whales while hitting on reporters, I will allow you all submit one additional Dark Secret if you wish. Because it’s 2024, ethics be damned apparently. Second announcement, the AB will be amending its Lion special talent due to issues with maintaining the privacy of its recipients. Changes to be finalized tomorrow.
